Reflections on the livestock tank

For the Beauty of the Earth

by Folliet Pierpoint & Conrad Kocher

For the beauty of the earth,

For the beauty of the skies,

For the love which from our birth,

Over and around us lies:

Lord of all, to Thee we raise

This our sacrifice of praise.

For the beauty of each hour

Of the day and of the night,

Hill and vale and tree and flower,

Sun and moon, and stars of light:

Lord of all, to Thee we raise

This our sacrifice of praise.

For the joy of human love,

Brother, sister, parent, child,

Friends on earth and friends above,

For all gentle tho'ts and mild:

Lord of all, to Thee we raise

This our sacrifice of praise.

For They church that evermore

Lifteth holy hands above,

Offering up on every shore

Her pure sacrifice of love:

Lord of all, to Thee we raise

This our sacrifice of praise.
